turned around to the people and said who touched my garments. The woman
                   saw the crowd move away from her. She was in the midst of them and Jesus
                   looking upon her. Amazed, trembling because she knew what had happened
                   came and fell down and worshipped him. In the presence of all the people she
                   explained her purpose to touch him and how she was healed straightway. Jesus
                   said to her have courage my daughter your faith has healed you. Go in peace
                   and be cured of your disease.

                                                 Jarus Daughter Raised


                   While he was still talking, some men came from the house of the leader of the
                   synagogue and said to Jarus your daughter is dead, do not trouble the teacher.
                   Jesus heard the words they had spoken and said to the father of the girl. Do not
                   be grieve but only believe and she will be restored to life. They came to the
                   house of Jarus the leader of the Synagogue and Jesus saw them in a tumult. The
                   singers weeping, wailing an excited crowd. He said to them that is enough. The
                   little girl is not dead but she is asleep. They laughed at him. They knew she was
                   dead. Then he put everyone out and he did not allow anyone to enter with him
                   except Peter, James, John and the Father and Mother of the little girl. He entered
                   where the little girl was laid and took her by her hand. Then said to her little girl
                   rise up. Her spirit returned. She straightway rose up and walked. They were all
                   amazed. He said to her parents give her something to eat. He then warned them
                   not to tell any man what had happened. This news spread all over the country.


                                                Feast in Matthews House

                   It came to pass; Matthew made him a great feast in his house. Jesus came with
                   his followers and sat to eat. Now there was a great company of Publicans and
                   sinners that had come together and sat down with Jesus and his followers.

                                                   Parable the Servant


                    As he reclined he spoke a parable to those who had gathered in the house. He
                   said know which of you has a servant who plows his field and prepares it for
                   seed or cares for and feeds his sheep. If he should come from the field or flocks
                   would say to him enter in and set down? He would rather say to him prepare
                   something that I may have my supper and gird yourself and serve me until I eat
                   and drink. Then you also can eat and drink. Will that servant receive praise
                   because he did what he was commanded to do? I do not think so. When you
                   have done all the things commanded you; do not become idle and say we have
                   done what was our duty to do.
